Porcupine Ridge just a dash of salt

Mind setting this for July 25th? @Rannoch

Salt watches with extreme focus as the heads of prairie dogs poke up from underground tunnels. She is crouched near to the ground, her long legs tucked like those of a resting toad. From a distance, she might have looked like a complete fool, but when near, one could see the calculations being made within her mind.

There is a fat-rumped male with too much air in his head to realize the danger that lurks nearby; Salt takes advantage of the opportunity and bounds forward, stuffing her nose down into the tiny peephole. It takes a bit of reaching, but she eventually arises with a limp meal between her jaws. She peers around with a suspicious gaze, then begins to trot off to the shade of a leaning sequoia to enjoy her prize.
